CHARLEsTos AGAIN SHAKEN,

violent shock OF Earthquake

A Charleston telegram says st. Pa
tricks day in Charleston was the bleak
est and coolest ever known here. 1t
was, moreover, ushered in at $40 A.
NJ. by a peculiar and violent shock OF
earthquake, The city has been so long
free from shakes that this one was
somewhat demorahzing. The shock
il was not wave-came from the south
east. 1t was preceded and accompa-
MED by the usual subterranean roar,
very loud and dreadful. Then came
violent jerk, the buildings appearing to
have been thrust forward and pulled
back, after which there was slight
tremor as the roar died out. Most OF
the buildings in Charleston have been
rendered earthquake-proof by iron
bolts and plates otherwise there
would have doubtless been serious
damage. The cracks of such buildings
as have not yet been repaired were
videned, windows were ratified, and
mastering thrown down in number OF
places. The celebration of st.
Patrick's day was not interrupted. 1t
consisted of pontifcal mass, with mill
tary honors, in the new st. Patrick $
church, built since the earthquake, and
a number of banquets and balls at
night.

Strange story from Bowling Green,
Indiana

INDIAEApors, lid, May ia remark
able story comes from Bowling Green,
Clay county. Three miles west of Bow
ling Green, In O roomy old brick man
sion, lives DR.. John Williams, an old
pioneer and very worthy gentleman. his
family consists OF his wife and three
grandsons, one about 10 years old and
somewhat recent accession. The other
two are younger in years, but older in
the family relation. Three or four nights
ago the doctor thought his smokehouse
was being robbed of meat. He dis
covered the fact, whsn at once his house
was bombarded, several panes of glass
being knocked out with clubs or rocks.
Then the door leading into his room sud
denly opened, though securely locked,
and n man to all appearance entered. but
in another instant as mysteriously disap-
peared. The next night the visitor again
called, his movements being equally
vague. The doctor does not believe In
ghosts, especially in brick-throwipg and
meat stealing spooks, and he informed
the presence that If il was something to
eat he was wanting he was willing TO
share. This did not have the desired
effect for the next morning $500 which
had been secreted about the premises
were missing.
Then the neighborhood became alarmed.
The next night four men residing at the
village John, Thomas and William Tag
CART among the number-armed them
selves and volunteered to act as guards.
Some time during the night the visitor
gained entrance, when the Oldest grand
SON opened fire on him with revolver
from closet in which he was secreted.
The fire was promptly returned in kind,
several shots being exchanged. At this
juncture the guards rushed in, but the
stranger had disappeared up the stairway,
being distinctly heard entering room
overhead. Ills pursuers were close on his
heels. They gained the room, but found no
one in it. 1t was impossible for human
being to have hidden in il SO as t. have
eluded capture or TO have escaped from
it. But, all the same, there was no one
to be found. No one apparently doubted
his presence. For that ~ lttsr, The grand
son, who engaged in the boat with him,
lay down stairs with al ugly bullet.hole
in his thigh as result. This last exploit
happened ON Friday night. There has
been no trouble since, and the neighbors
hope the affair is over.

A dangerous Free Ride.

A curious incident, showing the utmost
carelessness and lack of fear in the face of
danger, occurred on the Delaware railroad
yesterday week. A Wilmington lad, bent
on reaching the lower part of the State
without walking, and not being provided
with necessary cash, fixed himself on the
truck underneath one of the cars of the
south hound passenger train leaving here
at 6.25 p. m. He occupied po-
sition of great danger, but when
discovered near Hare's Corner he
did not seem to realize his position
nor care as to the possible consequences.
He was driven from his roost, but when
the train reached the Bear, he was again
found snugly ensconced underneath the
car. The bouncing process was again re-
sorted to and the train hands thought
themselves safely rid of the boy.
When nearing Kirkwood their Illusion
was dispeiled, and the persistent lad was
found on the front of the mail car. When
discovered he made motion as though
he would jump, but he was caught and
taken into the car and safely landed at the
next stop. Had he jumped he would un-
doubleday have been fearfully MANNED or
killed. The boy was now driven from
the vicinity of the train and watched to
prevent his further ride. stealing. ALI
seemed serene but the train hands were
dumb-founded when they found him on
the back platform Of the last car after
they had gotten under full Roadway. He
was bounced" for the last time as he was
seen no more. He said that he was on
his way TO pick strawberries. His per-
sistency and reckless pluck should have
earned for him the free ride which he
coveted so much.

There were over 6,000 men in line, and
the marching was almost perfect and the
sight grand one. After the parade the
Wilmington men were entertained &C din.
